OK, this is really starting to drive me nuts. Everytime I click on a link to a PDF file in Firefox it crashes. I can right-click-save-as and open it directly in Acrobat, but not in Firefox. It doesn't matter which computer I use, work or home or school. Is anyone else having this problem and how can I fix it? It's getting reeeeeaaaalllllyyy old having to restart my browser and figure out where I was. :thumdown:

Do you have acrobat reader or the full blown version? I had the same problem. Uninstalled the pro version (as I did not need it anymore) and voila/ Problem is gone.

Same here. I've got the pro version and occasionally I've had problems locking up.

I had Reader 6.0. Just installed 7.0.5. Problem solved. :thumbup:

Thanks guys.
